Carports Sized for Your Property
Whether you need coverage for one car or a 40-foot RV, we build carports that fit your driveway, your lot, and your city's setback requirements.
How We Build Them
What's Included in Every Carport
Our carports aren't flimsy metal kits. They're real structures built with pressure-treated wood framing and commercial-grade metal roofing — the same quality we put into everything we build.
Wood Post-Frame
Pressure-treated wood posts and beams. Stronger, better looking, and longer lasting than thin steel tube framing used by kit companies.
Metal Roofing
26-gauge steel roofing panels in your choice of colors. Handles Indiana snow loads, heavy rain, and UV exposure for decades.
Custom Dimensions
Not a standard kit — we build to your exact measurements. Need 18x26? We build 18x26. Every carport fits your property.
Proper Footings
Posts set in concrete footings or anchored to existing concrete. This is a permanent structure — not something that blows over in a storm.
Color Matching
Choose metal roof and trim colors that complement your home. Multiple color options available to keep your HOA happy.
Permits Handled
We manage the permit process for your city. Permit fees are paid directly by the homeowner — we handle all the paperwork and submissions.
Configuration Options
Every carport is built to your specs. Here are the most popular options our customers choose.
Attached or Freestanding
Attach it directly to your home or garage for a seamless look, or build it freestanding anywhere on your property. Both options are fully engineered.
Enclosed Ends or Sides
Want more protection? Add metal panels to one or both ends, or enclose a side. Partial enclosure gives you weather protection without a full building.
Gable or Lean-To Roof
Gable (A-frame) for a traditional look, or lean-to style for a sleek modern profile — especially popular for attached carports against the house.
Extra Height
Standard height works for cars and trucks. Need clearance for an RV, motorhome, boat, or lifted truck? We build taller posts to any height you need.
Protect What Matters
What Will You Cover?
Daily Drivers
No more scraping ice in winter or climbing into a 140-degree car in summer. A carport keeps your vehicles cool, dry, and protected year-round.
RVs & Campers
Sun and rain destroy RV roofs and exterior finishes. A tall carport is the cheapest insurance you can buy for a $50,000+ vehicle that sits outside most of the year.
Boats & Trailers
Keep your boat, jet skis, or utility trailers under cover and out of the weather. No more tarps that blow off or pool water on top.
Equipment & Machinery
Riding mowers, ATVs, UTVs, tractors, or commercial equipment — a carport keeps them running longer and looking better. Quick access, no doors to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a carport cost in Indianapolis?
Carport pricing depends on size, style (gable vs lean-to), whether it's attached or freestanding, and any enclosed sides or ends. Single-vehicle carports start around $3,000, double carports around $5,500, and RV/oversized structures around $7,000+. Every project is custom-quoted based on your specific needs.
Do I need a permit for a carport in Indianapolis?
In most cases, yes. Indianapolis and surrounding cities generally require permits for permanent structures. We handle the entire permit process for you — applications, site plans, and submissions. Permit fees are paid directly by the homeowner; we take care of all the paperwork.
Can you attach a carport to my existing house or garage?
Yes — attached carports are one of our most popular options. We secure the carport to your existing structure with proper ledger boards and flashing to prevent leaks. The roofline can match your home's pitch and the metal color can complement your existing exterior.
How long does it take to build a carport?
Most carports are built in 1–3 days depending on size and complexity. Add 2–4 weeks for the permit process before construction begins. From first call to finished structure, typical timeline is 3–6 weeks.
What's the difference between your carports and the kit carports I see online?
Kit carports use thin steel tube framing that bends, rusts, and rattles in the wind. Ours are built with pressure-treated wood posts and beams — the same construction quality we use in all our buildings. They're stronger, look better, last longer, and are engineered for Indiana weather. We also handle permits and installation — kit companies ship you a box of parts and wish you luck.
Can I add walls or enclose my carport later?
Yes — because we use real wood post-frame construction, adding side panels, end walls, or even fully enclosing the structure later is straightforward. Many customers start with an open carport and add enclosure as their needs change. At that point you're essentially building a pole barn, and we do those too.
